What would you do for love? 15th century. England devolves into chaos as two families fight over the throne during the Wars of the Roses, and the repercussions spill over onto the Isle of Jersey. In an era when shifting alliances and acts of treason are commonplace, three lives become entangled in a web of love, deceit, and revenge. Meet Philippe de Carteret, an insecure young man, thrust into his ancestral role as the island's premier seigneur. He inherits a manor in ruins with no means to pay for the repairs. Add Clement Le Hardy, embittered by the loss of his heritage. He vows to reclaim his rightful legacy and exact retribution on Philippe for his misfortunes. Enter Margaret Harleston, a headstrong maiden, with powerful connections and a substantial dowry. Determined to forge her own path, she rebels against societal constraints. This gripping tale, based on real people and true events, takes readers on a page-turning journey from the windswept cliffs of Jersey to the gritty streets of London, culminating in a real-life feat of bravery that is still celebrated on the Isle of Jersey today. Author C.V. Lee has crafted a deeply engaging historical work that takes the dry facts of history and breathes new life and emotional resonance into them with every stroke of the pen. I really enjoyed the artistic license of the author in delving into the psyche and emotions of both Phillippe and Margaret ... Overall, Betrayal of Trust is a cinematically penned historical piece that gives both the grandeur and grit of 15th century living and I would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in engaging emotive tales that bring history to life. ~K.C.
